APPARATUS FOR BRUSHING UP DESIGNS ON FABRICS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of' Letters Patent No. 397,064, dated January 29, 1889.

Application tiled August 30, 1888. Serial No. 284,119. (No model.) Patented in England May 13, 1887, No. 7,024.

To all who/)L t may concern:

Be it known that l, CARL HERMANN BEHN- IsCH, of Luckenwalde, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented a new and useful In'lprovement in Appa `atus for Brushing up Designs on Fabrics, (which invention has been patented to me in Great Britain by Letl ters Patent of said country, No. 7,024, dated May 13, 1857,) ot' which invention the following is a specification.

This invention Arelates to the art of ornamenting fabrics by shearing Iigures in the nap on the face of the goods; and' it consists in means for teaseling orbrushing up the filaments forming the nap into the desired pattern or design, so that the goods may be passed through a cloth-shearing machine of common construction and have such brushed or teaseled portions of the nap cut or sbeared off.

lt is the object of my invention to produce a machine which shall be capable of producing every variety of pattern or design which it may be desired to form on the goods, and

as such invention it embraces three groups of devices which maybe employed successively upon the same piece of fabric, or, if desired, each may be employed independently of and without the others.

My invention will irstbe described in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and then pointed out in thc claim.

Of the drawings, Figure] is a rear elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is an end elevation. Fig. 3 is a cross-section. Fig. 4f isa plan, omittii'lg the cylinder l) and brush c2, but showin the brush e. Fig. 5 is a view of a modified form of means for operating the longitudinally-stripng pattern, so as to form longitudinal waved or serpentine lines on the goods. Fig. t5 is an end view, partly :in section,of the 'means shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a plan of part of the cross-stripingmechanism. Fig. 8 is a front view of the same. Fig. 9 is a representation of a pattern that may be produced upon the fabric by the first group of devices. Fig. l0 is a representation of the pattern that may be produced on the fabric by passing through the first and second groups of devices, and Fig. l l represents a pattern that may be produced onthe fabric by passing it successively through the several groups of devices.

rlhe same letters of reference designate the same parts in all of the views.

In the drawings, 2 designates the frame of the machine, which is adapted to support the various parts, and in which is journaled the main driving-shaft 3, provided with fast and loose pulleys 3 3,rcceiving motion from any prime motor, and from which, by means of belts or gearing, or both, the various operative parts of the machine are driven. I have shown a band-pulley,02,011 shaft 3,.having three belt-grooves, from which grooves bands o3, a, and a? extend, respectively, to the pulleys on the shafts of brushes c, c, and ci. The roll l may be driven by band or belt a6, extending thence from pulley al on the shaft 3, and the draft-roll 5 may also be driven from said pulley d'7 by a belt, of, (shown in dotted lines.) The roll a may be driven by belt a9 from the pulley am on shaft 3. A countershaft, a, may be driven from the main shaft 3 and this counter-shaft be belted (bybelt al?) to the shaft L. The rolls n and 5 may be driven by friction of the cloth; but other usual forms of motion-transmitting mediums may be employed.

The several groups of devices before mention ed are lettered A, B, and C. The group A is constructed and arranged to produce figures or character-designs upon the goods, the group l-l for producing cross-stripes, and the group C for producing longitudinal, diagonal, or waved stripes.

The fabric entering the machine passes over a roll, el, and is drawn through by a draftroll, 5, at the other end of ,the machine, over which the goods under treatment also pass, the armed roll G being a beater-roll to beat the fabric out of the teeth of the draft-roll.' From roll 4: the fabric first passes through the group of devices A, entering over a felt-covered roll, a, upon which roll rests a slowly-revolving sheet-metal cylinder, b, having patterns or tigures cut out therefrom-or example, as indicated in Fio. 9. This cylinder h may be revolved by frietional contact with the cloth. Tithin the cylinder b, and of smaller diameter than the latter, is a rapidly-rotating brush or earding cylinder, c, operating on the cylinder l) at the point where the fabric passes between it and roll (L, and operating to raise or brush the nap ot.' the fabric in a direction opposite to that of its grain through openin gs or figures corresponding to on lin ltig. t), cut in the cylinder l), producing a brushed or teaseled pattern in the nap of the goods corresponding to the pattern formed in said last-mentioned cylinder. d (l d are three sleiu'lcrrollers journaled in suitable bearin and operating on the surface of cylinder l) to guide the same and hold it down upon the cloth. From the group ot' devices A the fabric may be led around the guide-roll .2" to the group B, consisting ot' a bed, c, provided with a narrow slot,f, over which rotates a brush or card cylinder, c', similar to brush or cylinder f', and under which is a vertically reciprocating blade, g, operating through slot f and against cylinder c. Blade f/ vis supported on a base or bar, 7l., pivoted to the upper end ot' straps i, the lower ends of which surround and are actuated by eccentries ,j on a rotary shal't, le. The fabric in its treatment by the group ot' mechanism l) passes over the blade g, by which it is intermittingly raised into contact with brush or roller e', operating through slot j" ot' hed c, and so having the nap raised in transverse stripes thereacross, as designated by fm ,in Fig. lt). From the group oi meehansm ll the fabric may pass under the roll `n, up over a stationary blade, ol group (l, and thence down over draft-roll 5. o, Fig. 4, designates a sheet-metal band passing over pulleys p Ap, arranged at the ends ot blade I, and so that the band may extend around, above, and below said blade. q designates slots t'ormed in band o and extei'iding transversely thereot', though himgitlulinally with relation to the Vfabric passing' over blade Z. c`-` designates a brush rotating above band o, and serving to brush the nap ot' the Vfabric through the slots q ol' band o, and so to lorm longitiulinalstripes 'r inthe nap, as shown in Fig. ll.

As has been stated hcreinbefore, any one of the group ot' devices may be used independently ot' the others, or any two maybe used without the other.

In case it is desired to form diagonal stripes on the goods the fabric will be passed through group C alone, and in this ease the band o will be slowly carried around pulleys p p', so as to change the position of the slots in said band with respect to the edges of the fabric. Pulley p is driven through the medium of a gear, G, on its shal't engaging an idler, 7, which meshes with a gear, S, on horizontal shaft 9, on which are splined two bevel-gears, l ll, one on each side of a bevel-gear,l 2, arranged to turn on a stud on the frame 2, which gear l2 is operated by a ljievel-pinion, 1S, on the upper end ot' shaft l-l, the lower end of which is provided with a worm-gear, l5, engaging a worm, le', on main shaft Il. lt now bevcl-gear l0 should be brought into engagement with gear l2, the band o on pulleys p p will be carried around in one direction; but it' said gear l() be thrown out of engagement with gear l2, and gear ll be brought to mesh therewith, the vband will be moved in the opposite direction, t'orniin g the diagonal stripes across the goods in the opposite direction, and lit' both gears l0 ll be thrown or moved out olf engagement with gear l2 the band owill stand still, and, as stated, longitudinal stripes will be formed in the nap of the goods.

In case it is desired to form serpentine lines in the nap of the goods both wheels l0 ll will be disengaged from gear 12, and a pitman, .5', will be connected at its upper end with a crank-arm, t, on the shaft ot' pulley j), or, it may be, with a wrist-pin on the tace ot' gear ti', and at its lower end with a wrist-pin on a rotary disk, il, so that pulley p will be rotated `first in one direction. and then the other, movin g pattern-l )an d o correspont'li i i gly, an d etlecting through the medium of brush or cylinder C2 the raising ot' the nap in serpentine or zigzag lines on the face oi' the goods, as will be readily understood without further description.

Vhen the nap of the fabric which is raised by my invention, as hereinbefore set forth, cut oft by means of a sheariiig-machine, the cloth may then be finished, and the designs will appear on the face ol the goods as bare stripes or ligures indented into the material.

llaving thus described my invention, what I claim is- A machine for teaseling or brushing up designs or figures in the nap on the t'ace of `tabrics, eonsistingoll the combination ol a frame, drawing and guide rolls mounted therein, a roll, a, over which the fabric passed, a sheetmetal pattern-cylinder arranged above said roll, and a brush or card cylinder arranged within the pattern-cylinder to make one part of a given design-t`or example, figures-a slotted bed, a brush or card cylinder arranged above said bed,and a blade arranged beneath the bed, and over which blade the cloth passed, and means to reciprocate said blade vertically to form another part ot' the designsay stripes-and a pattern-band and means to move it, a brush or card cylinder arranged above said band, and a stationary blade be-v low said band, and over which thc fabric is passed to complete the design-say by the addition o'f stripes ruiming in a di'lierent direction from those first named-and suitable means to rotate the brush or card cylinders and rolls, subs antially as set forth.

This specification signed by me this 5th day ot April, '15%88.
